I am Jen. I'm a number cruncher for the government by day - jewelry maker when I have free time. And newly minted tea merchant. I am happily married with one son and one daughter.
When I was planning my wedding I couldn't find a florist willing to work on my wedding day - new year's eve. So I started looking for alternatives for my bouquets and discovered crystal bouquets. A little internet searching helped me to find instructions on how to make my own bouquets with wire and beads. A new hobby was started!
The bouquet project graduated to include the boutonnieres and corsages and miniature tussie mussies for my flower girls. That graduated to include making jewelry for my bridesmaids and other ladies in our wedding party. From there the jewelry bug was firmly planted.
You can see my bouquets, corsages, bouttonnieres, and tussie mussies at my Flickr here (cut and paste the link into a new browser window to view):
I am now the proud owner of Tea For All Reasons, LLC, which used to be my mother's shop here on Etsy. She retired as a tea merchant at the end of 2019 and I am happy to be taking on the family business. She is still selling on Etsy at Vintage For All Reasons.
Only my custom tea blends are available in this Etsy Shop, but all of my teas are available through http://teaforallreasons.com.
Each month I give a portion of revenue to charity. Currently, the charity is Serve Our Willing Warriors. You can learn more about them here: https://willingwarriors.org
